Description of the problem: Let the subarrays a[0:k] and a[k+1:n-1] have been sorted (0<=k<=n-1). Try to design a combination of these two subarrays for sorting Algorithm for an ordered array a[0:n-1]. The computation time required for the algorithm in the worst case is O(n), and only O(1) auxiliary space is used. #include <stdio.h>
void DisplayArray(int *pArray, int nLen)
{
for (int i = 0; i < nLen; ++i)
{
printf("array[%d] = %d\n", i, pArray[i]);
}
}
// pArray1 and pArray2 are already sorted arrays, and they are required to be merged into pArray in order.
// The sorted array will not have duplicate elements
void MergeArray(int *pArray1, int nLen1, int *pArray2, int nLen2 , int *pArray)
{
int i, j, n;
i = j = n = 0;
while (i < nLen1 && j < nLen2) // loop until the elements of an array are copied
{
if (pArray1[i] < pArray2[j]) // copy array1 elements
{
pArray[n++] = pArray1[i++];
}
else if (pArray1[i] > pArray2[j]) // copy elements of array2
{
pArray[n++] = pArray2[j++];
}
else // equal elements copy
{
pArray[n++] = pArray2[j++];
++i;
}
}
if (i == nLen1) // copy elements of array2 if array1 has already been copied

pArray[n++] = pArray2[j++];
